The final decision will be taken in two to three days as to where and how many seats should be allotted
Amar Ujala Bureau
New Delhi. To fill more than 71 thousand seats of undergraduate program in the academic session 2024-25 of Delhi University, preparations are being made to make more admissions in such colleges where admissions are less. These are such colleges where more seats have remained vacant in the last two-three years. The administration is preparing to make more than 50 percent admissions in these colleges. However, it is still being discussed as to how many seats should be given in which college. A decision is expected on this in two to three days.
DU is planning to do as many admissions as possible in the beginning to avoid the situation of seats remaining vacant. DU has come to know that seats remain vacant in some colleges and are not filled till the end. For the last two years, colleges have been giving admissions on 20% more seats for general, OBC and EWS and 30% more seats for SC-ST in the first round, but even then the seats are remaining vacant, that too for courses of some specific colleges.
Due to the delay in starting the admission process, many students turn to other universities
In fact, seats are also remaining vacant because due to the delay in the admission process, many students turn to other universities. The college which is allotted to the students is far from their home and they do not accept the seat. In such a situation, the DU administration is looking for the possibility of making more than 50 percent admissions in such colleges where more seats remain vacant. For this, the admission number of colleges in the past years will also be looked at. It is believed that there are only 9-10 such colleges. Admission Dean Prof. Haneet Gandhi said that nothing has been finalized on this yet, only discussions are going on. Wherever we feel that there are less admissions in a college or course, we will allocate more seats there. Some decision is likely to be taken on this in two to three days.
